thinning the herd
Nov. 13th, 2001 03:45 pmI just unsubbed from some of my numerous mailing lists/Egroups/newsgroups/etc. I find I spend far too much time sitting in front of the screen when I get home, filtering through posts and emails that are either redundant, stupid, or that I simply do not have time for. I decided I needed to stop overwhelming myself with (often trivial) information in the interests of getting more off-screen time. Maybe I'll have more time to immerse myself in the beautifully illustrated Fortuny book.
Having to stop off at the grocery on the way home to pick up plates/cups for a co-worker's going away party tomorrow. It irks me a little.... - not only is party-planning something that I am ill-suited to, but it is not in my job description (pardon dangling preposistions). I do suffer a fear that if I am roped into too much of these social-organizing sorts of things that it will undermine my professionality. I'm a web developer, dammit!
